Gee Pete you'll be sadly missed - sorry to see you go mate. Might catch you round one next year (I guess that's if we're all lucky though).

Don't be sad mate it's just that I've got better things to do on Saturday Arvos than watching performances that are part and parcel since 78.

Eyres is useless and a liability and the match committee need to take responsibility for picking a side that was top heavy. Would have been better off with another mid with Johnston or Zucconi pinch hitting in the ruck. Angus Graham was dominant in the ruck and look forward to seeing him in more favourable conditions.

Don't write us off yet PN but you might want to pick your games more wisely .

Clint Jones I think was hampered by a thigh injury. Seemed reluctant to use his left foot. Losing Troppy early in the second qtr didn't help matters. Zac Fisher a real find. Zucconi as PN said serviceable, Jacobs gave us a lot of drive and the only one who consistently kicked the ball long. Stacky was good early but wasted a couple of chances we needed him to make. Spencer White dropped a couple of chest marks but so did many WP players today. Like Graham, dry conditions will probably suit him better.

All in all disappointing and improvement is required if we are any chance of playing finals footy this year.

Wow WP fans are the fastest dropping away fans I have seen in the last two years. Taking out their cultural game and the Derbies v EP they are well down. Rain today and off a loss I know but there were plenty of seats (that no one was allowed to sit in) spare in the Grand stand. Terrible set up for the rain up there.

Perth to set an example and front up next week for the home game. Pete excluded of course. Pete demands more from the team he supports.

I am a bit simple and just support, try and help out and see if i can get others interested.

Don't be like Pete

He'll be a winner for youse blokes

A pretty courageous effort by Jones. They hit him hard but he didn't flinch. Appeared to tweak a hammy or suffer a corky in first quarter. Had it bandaged and played on but was restricted. He even got onto his right side on a couple of occasions. Had 45 touches and was a very strong on field example for his younger teammates.
We are very fortunate to have him in red and black Southerner.

Well that's the difference between me and you I don't accept mediocrity, I've got to the position where I can take it or leave now it, if it wasn't pissing down I would of been out in the boat.

CJ is a pro Smoke - we were sad to lose him he'd have blended in bloody beautifully with Hockey , Hamsy , Kelly , Martinez & Schloithe

But that's modern footy and he was made a good offer by old mate Atkins

Yeah that's true DD but I thought this game was the game we had the best chance of winning , out of the first three lol.

That's not all that cost us.Injuries didn't help for sure.But when you put that aside to trail by a goal in the last Quarter,GAME ON!

But it wasn't.We went missing,they did not.

A few players out there(barring one who just about killed himself landing badly),would have got more kicks in a powerhouse,need to evaluate their performance,doubly so,when the coach tells them so.

A lot of work needed just to improve next week,let alone Win.The Colts Won to cheer a few of us still left(mainly friends and family).But with the 2 Senior Sides, those Inside The Club KNOW what supporters WANT NOW!

INSTANT WINNING RESULTS!

Grassy keep your eye on young Zac Fisher, good local kid from York Roos/Guilford Grammar

No not injured just didn't really rack up a lot of possessions.
